Winter. Malfoy Manor, London, 2004.
Hermione suddenly woke up. Her whole life was shown to her in a dream.
She got up and went to take a shower. She looked at herself in the mirror. As usually, the scar on her belly catched her attention. It always reminded Hermione about that terrifying evening, when she was told the truth and almost lost her child. The heir of the Malfoys was saved, but the scar of Bellatrix' anger remained.
Hermione dressed as usually an elegant gown. Being a member of the Malfoy family, she had to look perfect every day. Hermione gathered her shiny brown hair in a casual hairstyle and suddenly she remembered that it was Christmas morning. She thought that probably the whole family was waiting for her and hurried to go downstairs. As Hermione arrived in the living-room, a little blonde-haired boy with chocolate eyes ran to her exclaiming:"Merry Christmas, Mommy!". Hermione took her son in her arms and hugged him tight saying:"Merry Christmas, darling!". Draco hugged them both wishing 'Merry Christmas' and kissing their cheeks.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?", asked Hermione.
"Sorry, you were sleeping so sweet!", answered Draco smiling.
"Merry Christmas, Hermione!", said Narcissa smiling.
"Merry Christmas!", said Hermione and hugged her mother-in-low.
Narcissa told Hermione all about her mother. She loved Eleanor very much and knowing that Draco's Hermione is her Fairy's daughter she started to love her as much. Hermione considered Narcissa her second mother.
The doorbell rang and Hermione went to open the door.
"Merry Christmas!", said Severus Snape cheerfully.
"Professor Snape, Merry Christmas!", said Hermione hugging him.
She discovered that her beloved professor Snape loved her mother too and he was also her godfather, so he was always taking care of her. She definitely lost a father, but won another one instead.
"Scorpius, look who's here!", said Hermione as the professor entered.
Her son liked very much to listen to Snape's stories and tales, so he was happy to see him. Snape loved Scorpius very much as he had his mother's eyes.
"Severus grandpa, the last time you visited us you promised to tell me a story about my mommy, so I want to hear it right now!", said Scorpius.
Draco and Hermione looked at them smiling.
"Alright, did you know that your mother saved the whole Wizarding World killing one of the most powerful wizards at a very young age?", asked professor Snape the boy.
"Really?", asked Scorpius.
"Yes! Long, long ago, an evil powerful wizard called the Dark Lord, wanted to subject the Wizarding World. Your grandfather, your mother's dad, was one of the Dark Lord's followers when your mother was no more than five or six months old. One day the Dark Lord was very furious and he almost killed you grandfather. He was holding your mother in his arms and when the Dark Lord directed his wand to him casting the killing spell, it's magical light touched your mommy and the spell was redirected to the Lord, who died. That's how the Wizarding World was saved!".
"But why did my granfather follow the Dark Lord?", asked Scorpius curiously.
"This is another story, it's enough for you today!", answered professor Snape.
When Hermione heared that story about her for the first time she thought about Bellatrix' words:'You killed the man whom I loved the most!', then, remembering it once again, she thought about herself. What did he have so special, that killed such a powerfull wizard? In one of her dreams she saw her mother, who told her:"You have to live the happiness for you and for me in your life! My love and protection is always with you!". That was the only time Hermione saw her mother and unfortunately, it was only a dream.
Hermione suddenly cuddled in Draco's arms and he kissed her on the forehead. Her family was celebrating Christmas together around the Christmas tree. Hermione took her wand and from its top appeared a lot of lilies-of-the-valley. 'Now we are all together!', she thought to herself and smiled.
THE END.
